Hit an old field today where a home once was. Did great! Bell, '81, '99 indian, '19 wheat, a really cool heel plate, and a ceramic torso of a lady, an aluminum religious pendant , and some aluminum good luck thingy. The bell even still rings!

The heel plat is cool. I found one. Seems women of the night. Had them made by blacksmiths. The heel plate would leave the heart print in the dirt roads. It was there calling card. They date to around the civil war.

Thats really neat. Ive never heard that. This heart plate belongs to a set, like the playing cards. And they were used on kids boots. I have found all four. And way back I was sent a pic of an old newspaper/catalog ad for them. Cant find it right now but
I like your story better.

Finding a bell is very cool. Only ones I've ever found were recently dropped cat-bells. LOL
